Mary Ann Covone, Attorney at Law,
provides representation in the areas of practice that are most
important to you as a local business owner.
Ms. Covone focuses on the following areas of practice:

  • Contracts - Careful drafting and review of contracts is essential to
    your business. A contract should clearly articulate the terms that the
    parties agreed upon. The document will become a blueprint from
    which the parties will define their roles and plan their business
    endeavors. Ms. Covone will draft your “blueprint” to help you avoid
    future misunderstandings, disputes and litigation.

  • Dispute Resolution - If a dispute is brewing, it is time to call
    your lawyer – before it becomes a law suit. Ms. Covone is an
    experienced negotiator and problem-solver. Her ability to work with
    people and bring them together can save your business time and
    money.

  • Litigation and Appeals – If a dispute cannot be resolved and
    culminates in litigation, Ms. Covone will aggressively pursue your
    interest at the administrative level and in court. Ms. Covone has tried
    numerous cases to successful verdicts.

  • Business Formation - What structure is right for your business
    corporation, sole-proprietorship, general partnership, limited
    partnership, LLC? Ms. Covone will listen to your plans and goals for
    your business, help you select the appropriate business entity, and take
    the necessary legal steps to create your entity.

  • Business Sales & Acquisitions – The effort you put forth
    investigating the viability of a merger, sale or acquisition is at least of
    equal importance to the effort you put forth negotiating and closing
    the deal. Contact Ms. Covone as you begin to think through the
    process so that she can assist you in exercising the requisite “due
    diligence” in preparing for the sale or acquisition of a business.

  • Employment / OSHA – It is important that you develop
    policies that comply with state and federal regulations before an
    inspector appears at your company or before an employee complains
    to a regulatory agency. Ms. Covone can help you understand and
    comply with all regulations so that you can avoid costly legal problems
    “after the fact.”

  • Zoning - Ms. Covone has ten years of experience representing
    municipal entities. If the property you select for your business needs
    to be re-zoned, she will represent your interest from the initial stage of
    investigation through the final hearing before the municipal Zoning
    Board of Appeals and Board of Trustees.

  • Real Estate - As a convenience to you and your business, Ms.
    Covone offers representation for your real estate negotiations and
    closings.
